I had my confirmation phone call with both of the couples I am deejaying for this weekend. One did not have their first dance song picked out on my form. During our conversation I asked, and they said they had been contemplating doing a custom medley with various sound effects between song transitions. They told me they would email me the specifics tonight, and asked if I could make them the song asap so they could practice (Thanks for springing this on me less than 72 hours before the wedding! ) (Overall, they are a very cool couple...Just procrastinating about their first dance)
The other couple is an Asian Couple...Very nice. They want an elegant black tie affair so I will be wearing my tux. They simply wanted a version of 1000 years cut short with a moderate fade out at a certain point. I did their song edit, and emailed it to them less than 15 minutes after our phone conversation. The last names of their bridal party though....OOOYYY...I'm in for a big challenge with that on Saturday!!!!
The other one I just got done doing, and it took me probably near 2 hours to actually get right before I finalized the edit, and emailed it to them. They were specific on song start and end points with various effects between and I wanted to make sure it sound good.
Now I gotta go to bed...Times like these I wish I wasn't working a day job.
Anyway, when you get these requests for custom made first dances etc, do you include this sort of production in your overall service fee, or do you require more money from the client for these type of requests?
I have never charged extra for this, but just wondering what others do.
